This model still permits roomfor traditional laboratory and project components.IntroductionIn standard teaching, course topics are covered on a set schedule and exams occur at set schedules.If students have not learned the material for an earlier portion of the class, the course moves alonganyway and focuses on new more difficult material that builds on the previous material thatstudent still does not understand. This promotes a fixed mindset promoting the idea that if youdidn’t get a concept, you never will. At the end of the course, students may only have a partialunderstanding of the material and may be

There have been various pedagogical approaches specifically designed for probability andstatistics courses for engineering students. For example, the use of technology was discussed in[1], where the author also illustrated the helpfulness of laboratory-like exercises through computersimulations in a probability and statistics course in Texas A&M University. A set of constructivistexercises have been developed in teaching probability and statistics in the University of SouthFlorida [2] to promote realistic mathematics education and inquiry-oriented teaching and learning.These exercises encourage students to work in teams, create their own knowledge, and
